By now you should all be familiar with NY Mayor Bloomberg's nanny-state soft drink ban. Anything over a refreshing 16oz will be considered ILLEGAL. This is obviously a blatant overreach by his administration.
Sightings have been reported of disgruntled New Yorkers crossing into neighboring Jersey to quench their thirst with the banned ice cold beverages.
I don't know about you, but I still believe in an America of freedom. We have a Constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And if that happiness happens to come in the form of a big gulp from 7/11 on a hot summer day, then so be it.
I mean, what's next? Govt gonna make you eat all your veggies too? Might as well ban fast food too? Could delicious Krispy Kreme donuts be next?
Say no to the fascist food police. Stand up for America!!
They can't stop us all. How could they enforce it? Would YOU break this LAW??!!
SOUND OFF AMERICA!!!!

+11Not likely I'll ever be in NY, but if I do visit, I'll remember to bring my own Big Gulp machine for the hell of it.
I can understand that a mayor may worry about the drinking and eating habits of the inhabitants of his city.
That he will mention something in a speech about it.
OK I can understand that too!
But this goes to far!
You enter the personal responsability realm of the person that drink this type of soft drink.
The only way is to convince people that too much soft-drinks is unhealthy.
Making it illegal will do nothing for less soft drink use.
I think you will see an increase of it, just out of spite, because people don't like to belittled that way.
The US has a history of making things illegal alcohol, soft drugs and now this.
You should think the people like this mayor should have known by not that making this illegal won't work!
In the Netherlands no city councel would ever accept such a law.
And when I'm RICH, I can say that I didn't do this by my self ....NYC Mayor Bloomberg and the nanny-state helped my all the way....LOL some more
He's a fictitious character who promised to "stop the motor of the world,".
You're idolizing a man who's solution to a problem was to engineer a collapse of civilization. Is that what you think needs to happen?
Pretty silly thing to be frothy about, IMO.
Explain that the extra plastic only cost 2 cents extra, so that is all you should pay over.
(let me know what they say!)
It's obvious you are one of those anti-authoritarian criminal extremist and domestic terrorists as identified by the federal Department of (in)Justice. Let's not forget! We are the property of the State. It needs us to pay the interest on the state, local, and federal debts to the bankers. It has every right to protect its property. It's just like seatbelts. They aren't to protect us. They're required to protect state property.
BTW, if you're ever caught drinking two 16oz sodas to circumvent the law, be sure to get some jurors in your trial that understand their rights as jurors. This is especially important if excessive soda drinking becomes a capital offense.
